DIRITISIIP . 11E9 The animating speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on ' thei letroduction of the Budget, which was looked forward to with such extreme interest, *ill be fOtind to contain thtit, explicit and detailed developement of the' financial condition of the country, which was to be expected from the candour and straight-forwardness which always accompany" his statements onwhatever subject he brings before the House. w h e pres sure of distress which, of late, every branch of national industry has had, more or less, to en counter, could not fail to produce a Correspondent depression in the Revenue; but the detail of last night fully warranted the anticipation that our resources would be found. equal to our ex penditure; and this without any Increase of tax ation, and without at all entrenching -on the Sinking Fund. In addition to which, the re viving energies of commerce hold forth every reasonable prospect that, in spite of any tempo:- rary difficulties, the 'substantial and effectual measures which Parliament have brought for ward, %Oki neve the effect of providing against the recurrence of those evils,' which of late have berne so hard. on the me r cantile com munity: The system of policy at: present pur sued by• 'Ministers has for its object to put the wealth and prosperity of the country upon a real and substantial basis ,• to give It a solid, and per manent, instead of a delusive and artificial struc ture.

We present it to our readers and the pulinCiluCh.as it i's. If they CHU derive much. consolation from it under the present pressure of commerCial embarrassment, or much hope of ap proaching ease, the docuMents, are before them : let them feast upon their contents. It appears that the only tax to he really reduced is one upon Tobacco, which had been already abated through mistake, and from which casual ally- NiatiOti the revenue had not suffered ; so much better a financier is chenco: than .Iturnatt de sign.

We, look. back to that of 18'24 as 'n l exaMple. In hiss budget of that year the Chancellor. of the Exchequer said, " the last year (1823) , the, surplus " 4, q reYenue over expenditure', was 1,710;0851.

The •Honourable Member for Montrose cannot siifiely' have lofgotten. that the great argument urged by the country 'gentlemen, in favour of the Corn Dill, at the close of the war, was, that 'it would make Corn cheap, for there was nothing they'frall' So mach at heart as to furnish- the i,„.•;; r ia n g pt•nple with 'cheap bread. low often Western contend, that it was gainninY 41;tiaiist t h e conntry gentlemen to say , that th e y t " w 'et ' - I dear Corn and high Rents?

The country gentleman passed the Corn Bill to improve the condition of the agricultural labourers , ; and if they have any alarms at present, it is not for themselves, but lest a repeal be attended with distressing results to that already starving race. As to their own ' rents—perish rents, say they, provided the people be happy ; but if the happiness of the people and high rents are bound up in an indissoluble union, why they must even be contont to receive the high rents for the sake of the concomitant advan tage to the people. Mr. Hume must take a les son from his countryman, Lord 'Lauderdale, who will satisfy him that the landowners, one and all, feel only for the people, caring nothing for their own interest. It is observed by a .great philosopher, that " the more civilized men are, the more they are actors ; they assume the appearance of inclination and esteem for others, of modesty and disinterestedness, without, how ever, thereby deceiving' any one, because every person is aware that the whole is assumed, and not sincere." If insincerity be the test of perfect civilization, we have yet, we fear, made but small progress in the way towards it, for we believe every word the Country Gentlemen say, when they assure us that they , are 'concerned only for the working classes. Mr. Hume has, however, made one step towards civilization ; and he has evidently more faith in the theatrical skill of those who surround him, 'than in their sincerity ; what he wants 18 to be able, with his present be lief, to compliment them, like Sir Francis Bur dett-, on their thorough disinterestedness. • • [NEW TIMES.] The fluctuations in the Funds yesterdat were inconsiderable. Consols 'opened at 78H, and after some short time advanc ed ,to 784, from which price they receded to 78k, and fluctuated between that rind 781, at which they closed both for, Money and tWi Account. &chequer Bills 35. prem., India Bonds 2s. prem.

The failure ,of a house of the first respectability at Vraini is also an flounced, [MORNING lirtAl,ol Lest night toe Gallery of the llduse of Com mons, and above all its lobby, were crowded chiefly Nvidt Brokers and Jobbers from the City.

So much for people leaving their debts to their descendants to pay, instead of baying, had.the courage to pay them themselves. It is certain,thafour ancestors had the money with which to'carry on their wars, or, they could not have lent their money to Messrs. Pitt, Perceval, &c, &c. &c. But they preferred lending their money at an infamously high rate of usance, to suffering their money to be taken out of their pockets in the shape of taxation. And yet we are continually hearing of the wisdom and the patriotism of our ancestor [THE ItEPIt,E4ENTATIVEI We have ouibentie account from Petersbur, which mention the firm determination of the E. [THE PUBLIC LEDGEBI As neither the French nor German. Papers ottain nny fresh accounts from. Russia, this is a pi,sumption that the troubles of that country atP considered us terminated. It is unnecessary to say that, there is not a portentous speck in th, political horizon of the rest of. Europe ; and we -lay therefore calculate pretty confi dently upon retaining the blessings of peace f o ir several years to come. There is not a more re markable phenomenen in this age of , wonders than the disposition displayed at this time by the Leading Powers, to keep war at as great a dis. lance from their doors es possible. Their whole policy, it may be truly said, is directed to this end ; and military establishments, that were for. merly kept up . roe the purposes of ambition are absolutely maintained at this moment with the view alone of repressing its excesses. • In baying this we speak deliberately ; and treat therefore with well deserved contempt those gloomy prognos. 'i c on w hich it is become rather fastkionabletodeal, in speaking of our political au more especially our commerciul relations. With t long prospect of peace before us, and with our resources wholly unimpaired, instead of retrograding, or even standing still, we may safely calculate upon mtik ing much greater advances i n the career of na tional prosperity. The severe ordeal through which the country has just passed, by remoy. in the dross and rust which had gradually mixed themselves with our commercial sys tem, have the effect of renovating it ; and then those entlightetted regulati ons, hich there is too much disposition at this moto t to decry, will he ,universally hailed h vi having astry e g f tpt given acLtry enwia:pulset ti besideso t h e wealth an t upon a ore secure foundation, palancdin:xetili;toinnge m the other from that periodical blight to which it has been heretofore liable. peror Nicholas to reduce his army to an enorm ous extent.

The intention is to make an example of , some of the principal of the leaders, and to disperse the rest—some to their estates, and others to Siberia. Nothing whatever is said of any intention to make war on Turkey, or to mid the Greeks.—The Journals of St. Petersburgh, of •the 23d and 25th ult., which we received last night, do not contain any tiling worth extracting.

[MORNING POST. The Ex-Lord Rector, on Fri Jay night, in the House of Commons, favoured Ministers with a new xecipe, the fresh creation of his honourable and intelligent mind, for the good government of the Colonies, and for keeping down the expences of the Colonial Office. His recipe Was simply this: the moment discontented Colonists begin to pester you with letters of complaint, put an end at once to your own trouble,and to the danger of being even tually obliged to incur the expence of a few ad ditional clerks, by recalling and disgracing the Governor against whom they complain. Allow no delay, wait foi no investigation, for these con sume time, which must be paid for, and are be sides accompanied by the 'consumption of pen, ink, and paper, which cannot be had for nothing : therefore, make short work of it; act at once upon the first complaints, as if a complaint were equivalent to established and unequivocal 'delin quency. This was the very original•view of the subject taken by the liberal Mr. Hume, the sa gacious ei•devant Lord Rector of the Col lege of Aberdeen. The brilliant suggestion was of course applied to the pending cam of Lord Charles Somerset, or mere probably was Concocted in the manly and equitable mind of the Hon. Mernber, for the express purpose of this exulting and felicitous application. Some thing conceived in a spirit so nearly kindred to this—something so much identified with it, in the qualities of heart and understanding which it im plies, appeared the other day in the Ex- Lord Rector's favourite Journal, that for the honour of human nature we must believe the speech and the article to be the manufacture of one and the same mind. To suppose the existence of two such minds would be a libel upon our species. The article to which we allude, after extracting from the miscellaneous estimates' the charge of 13,0001. or thereabouts, on account of the outfit al lowance of the Commissioners of Inquiry scut to the Cape of Good Hope, dashes at once to the conclusion, that the above sum of public money has been entirely wasted or thrown away. And why ? For the exquisite reason, to be sure, that Lord Charles Somerset is not yet dismissed from the office of Governor. Is there not identity here ? We see the same paltry 'affectation of eco nomy— the same foreetfulnessa(shall we say)— the word is weak—the same original incapacity to conceive the idea of justice—the same contempt for every thing manly, generous, or noble. It is not impossible they can be two here is, how ever, one point of view in which the' conduct of these parties afford us pleasure. We can see in it the ground of a confident expectation that the Noble Governor of the Cape, when he has the opportunity of being heard, will repel all the ac cusations which have been so industriously levelled against him. The 'eagerness of his enemies to reap their harvest of triumph before it is ripe, in dicates no confidence on their part that it ever will attain .to ripeness.. The foul birds of prey that delight to revel In the slaughtered reputa tions of distinguished men, will' not blunt their beaks and talons upon the mere' effigy, unless when they despair , of obtaining more nutricious and gr atifying materials for their gross repast. NEW CHURCHES. Yesterday a Meeting of the Trustees for build ing the intended new Church in the parish of St. Mary, New ington, was held at the school-rooms of the parish, for the pm pose of hearing and determining on an appeal made by the au elitors for the parish against so me charges in the accounts of the before-mentioned trustees. Mr. ADOLPHUS, in consequence of the appellants having been required to appear by Counsel, attended on behalf of the auditors, and stated, that although by the Act of Parliament,. they were in the extraor dinar y and anomalous situation o t . Judges on an appeal against their own acts, yet he trusted they would, from a sense of honour, retrace their steps, if it should be made 'At, as he had little doubt it would, that they had been lavish in the expenditure of aheparish money. The Learned Gentleman then stated, that his first objection was to the allowances made to Mr. Clutton, who, in addition to the other favours bestowed on himself and firm, received 2001. per annum, as clerk to the trustees. T heir m eetin g s were not nu merous, and when they gave him 150/—per annum, th e audi tors had objected to it on behalf of the parish, and since that time the duties had been considerably diminished. In addition to this allowance, Mr. Clutton received payment, as a solici tor, for matters which be should have done as the clerk; and many things were done by him in the latter capacity, which it was the duty of the trustees to have done themselves. The next item to which he had to object was for a chime of eight bells in the New Church. Now, they had one chime al ready, whiCh some might think more than necessary. But certainly they ought not to have a second chime of eight bells imposed on them at a considerable cost, when three at moss would suffice. In olden times i t ha d been customary with those who, from motives of piety, or a love of harmony,. were desir ous of a peal, to make a present of the bells they might think desirable„ beyond those requisite for tolling the congregation to church. Such donors perpetuated the remembrance of their liberality, by having their names cast on the bells. Here the trustees had their names cast on the bells, but directed that .the pariah should pay them for the honour. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to call a number of parish clerks, whose siihiries, it appeared, were f rom 1001. to 2001. and 2301. per annum, with extremely heavy duties attached to them. One of them stated, that he sometimes wrote for 17 hours per day. The. Learned Counsel objected to the mode in which the ac counts were mixed up, but the trustees refused to allow that point to be entered into. He then put in one account, from which it appeared that the amoun t of the rates collected in this parish, under the operation of the last act, was 9,1511. 14 s. 3 d. Of this had been paid to Mr. Clutton, of the firm of Carter and Glutton, for his bills, as solicitor, and his salary, -as clerk to the trustees, 2,319/. ; for his leasehold inte rest in the site of St., Peter's church-yard, 2,1971.: and other items, forming a total 0f.4,5911. 18s. 9d. The amount at present expended was 5,275/. 6s. 9d. Mr. THESIOER replied as Counsel in support of the accounts, as we understood, for the trustees. lie said the Bill of Mess s. Carter and Glutton had not been questioned by any evidence, and he should therefore leave that out of the case.— lie then contended that a second peal of bells was requisite in the parish for the parishioners to celebrate their weddings or their loyalty. The salary to Mr. Glutton was little enough for a professional man. It would be useless to adduce evidence to justify these charges, since they were aware of it, and as the auditors, perhap!i, intended to weal, it would only be fur-. nishing them wi th arms out of the_well-stored arrnotiry of the trt stees. The appellants and the parishioners were ordered out of the room, when the trustees' deliberated for a considerable time. They then declared (M r. Palmer only dissenting) that the ac counts were proper, and that the saw no jult grounds for th 6 appeal. The auditors gave notice of an appeal to the sessions. POLICE INTELLIG ENCE. GUILDHALL. INHUMANITY 'OF PARISH OvricEns.--!..Donahl, the ' beadle of Cripplegate appeared yesterdil on the behalf oNir overseers of that parish,i to answer the compinint of Eli— a vian, a decent -looking female, for refusing to relieve her. The young woman stated, that she and her huehund had lbied some years in the parish, and that her husthing t band becom ing.ill a few days ago, and unable to earn any owards t heir support, she applied to the overseers for a little tenporary relief. She was introduced to the Parochial ConinutteA On Thursday, but was disvpissed by them without nny as sistance, and with the observation that " as her husband got ill be must , get well again." • Donald replied to the charge, that the woman should not merely have left " the Magistrate's summons on Saturday, but she should have obtained an interview with the relieving over seer, and then there might have been no necessity for attending here to-day. Mr. Alderman Bnows—l never sit in this chair but I have to complain of , the gross inhumanity of overseers towards the poor of the different parishes. The treatment of this poor woman is excessively disgraceful to the parish of Cripplegate, and I do nut care how publicly this opinion of mine is known. It is shameful that in a city like this, respectable persona can: not be found in the several parishes to discharge the duties of overseer in person, .but that it may be deputed to hitelings like you, who quibble and trifle with the most pressing want. Let the necessary steps be taken to make a' peremptory order upon this parith. Donald immediately, slipped is. 64. into the woman's hand, and said, " I have relieved her, your Worship ;" but the Al. derman .nevertheless signed the sumnions, in order that the overseers may be kept to their duty. - . lIATT.ON.4 ARDEN.

They then took from his pocket two sovereigns, and some silver, and a sked for his watch ; he replied he had none, when they th ereatenearcd to ed shoot him if he made any resista nce.

MACKENZIE tuna, in pre aria the peti Mation, he might have embodied such a clause, heti iie thought matters were arrived at such a pass as to require it; hut the fact Was, that although it was well understood the obnoxious measure was in contemplation, still there was not as yet any bill or measure actually introduced before either House of Par.

If, however, Ministers should perseVere in follow. ing out their present intentions, aga inst the universal voice of the country--a .consummation which, he trusted, they never should be doomed to witness, —he for one, who certainly would be considered among the last to give ven t to violent or inflam matory language, felt that the spirit of independence which enxieiestt:danidnbohldislyb,rteiarmstiy,imapn4ellincddelptienindteontisayy, asthsaetrtthettesilriounlad. tional rights, and maintain the ;privileges which the articles of the union conferred on them !
